Rapid prototyping - getting started with our solutions

Hello, my name is Joe George. I'm with the Northeast Digital Field Applications Group with Texas Instruments, America Sales and Marketing. Welcome to rapid prototyping using the full TI portfolio, a comprehensive video that will discuss, if you're an analog type, prototyping with minimal or even no programming necessary, for more of a digital type, programming, not only embedded, but potentially even wirelessly-- as I like to call it, Launchpad meets the Beaglebone.

Quick view of the agenda-- mostly for the analog side, we'll talk some real fundamentals about implementing necessary functions like clocks, which are basically GPIO, reading A/D, I2C even SMBus We'll also talk about how you can interface to various TI analog EVMs for proof of concept. And I talk about the user interface, preferably standalone, using a button for GPIO input, maybe even LCD display, music, and of course something we're all familiar with, some type of serial interface using PuTTY.

We'll talk a more advanced user interfaces using GUIs and et cetera, again, more of the PuTTY serial interface. And realize, it's very straightforward. Anyone who has programmed or set up the Wi-Fi in your house can prototype with these few simple steps.

And then it might be more for the digital side, but we'll talk about better prototyping, both wired and wireless control, and also use of TI cloud computing, if you don't want to actually download various tools to your local computer. And there is some various advanced topics and some of the demos that we'll talk about. And speaking of demos, we have lots of short demo video clips for you to be able to illustrate the concepts that we're discussing.
